Minor in Art History

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Warren Wilson College

Program Overview

Art history is a field of study that analyzes visual images and material objects and seeks to understand their form and why and how we use them. Art history is also the investigation of an artwork's historical context and mode of production. These inquiries can lead in many different directions involving issues of race, class, gender, and nationality; problems of patronage and taste; and questions of exchange, reception, conservation, and restoration.The history of art is an ideal field for students who wish to acquire a general cultural background in art; to develop analytical, writing, and oral presentation skills; and to sharpen critical sensibilities. The minor is designed for students who seek to study art history in depth as a complement to their major area of study. It allows students to study art historical topics that cover a variety of regions, cultures, and time periods
